PSI11.3.13 - Benefits on Death in Service: Widow(er)s' and Dependants' Pensions - Separate Lump Sum


(This archived guidance relates to HMRC discretionary practice before the 6th April 2006. For current guidance on Registered Pension Schemes see the Registered Pension Schemes Manual)

[PN11.7]

Where schemes give a separate lump sum on retirement (see PSI6.2.3) instead of a partly commutable pension, the deceased's notional pension used in the calculation of the spouse and dependant's benefits, can include the pension equivalent of the lump sum.
